The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Border Force personnel are qualified to conduct Visit, Board, Search, Seizure operations.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Border Force officers operate using a range of powers from the Immigration Act 1971, The Customs and Excise Management Act 1979, The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, The Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989, The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016, and other legislation. Border Force officers are trained and have guidance on the use of these powers.
